Jon Jones avoids Grand Jury, could strike plea deal for hit-and-run

Jon Jones' legal time could be angling for a plea deal for his alleged hit-and-run in April.

Things are moving along with Jon Jones' felony hit-and-run case. Documents obtained by MMAFighting.com reveal that the former light-heavyweight champ will not face a Grand Jury, and instead, will stand before Bernalillo County Second Judicial District Court.

The 28-year-old allegedly skipped a red light in his hometown of Albuquerque in April, slamming his rental car into another vehicle being driven by a pregnant woman. The woman broke her arm, and 'Bones' faces felony charges for the incident.
